In Jinling, when Feng Huang stole the items from Xia Yanyu's father, Xia Hengzhou, which were left in the bronze box, she had mentioned that she was repaying a debt.

And now all this probably still had to do with her creditor.

Unable to harm herself while gravely injured, Feng Huang refused the other party's request.

Therefore, they instructed her to retrieve the new energy technology from Professor Sun's possession.

Believing this would ensure her safety, Feng Huang agreed to the task.

But Feng Huang didn't realize that the other party had never intended to stop targeting her.

Even the kidnapping of Professor Sun was likely their doing.

As for what this woman had been up to during her unannounced absence, the answer had now been revealed.

While she was severely injured, she probably fought off the assassins sent by them all on her own.

"Silly woman..."

Watching Feng Huang, who had passed out, Xu Fan couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

If she'd told him the truth, none of this would have happened.

You see, with the aid of Jiuyang Warm Jade, his injuries had already healed.

She really didn't need to take this risk.

Now, checking Feng Huang's breathing, he was relieved to find that although she was severely hurt, she was still savable.

Immediately, Xu Fan started to treat her earnestly.

As for who her creditor was, the one who wanted his life, all of that would have to wait until she woke up to be asked.

...

After spending a full seven days, Xu Fan finally brought Feng Huang back from the brink of death.

"Awake?"

Now sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Feng Huang as she slowly opened her eyes, Xu Fan greeted her with a smile.

"I... How did I..."

Recovering from a serious illness and although extremely weak, Feng Huang was surprised to find herself still alive in the world.

Logically speaking, Xu Fan's injuries hadn't even healed yet, so he shouldn't have been able to save her.

How did he manage it?

"My injuries healed a while ago. It's you who needs to focus on recovery these days," Xu Fan explained with a smile, reading the confusion in her eyes.

"My clothes?"

Currently lying in bed and noticing the clothes on her body, Feng Huang couldn't help but turn her gaze toward Xu Fan.

"Your previous clothes were no longer wearable. I bought these for you. How's the fit?"

"..."

While lying in bed and looking at Xu Fan beside her, Feng Huang narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Heh, Oppa, be honest, did you take any liberties while I was out these past few days?"

"Of course, I did. Not only did I look, but I also touched all over," Xu Fan said unabashedly, touching his nose.

She had been unconscious for seven days, and he had been the one to bathe her and change her dressings. What he'd just said was pretty much the truth.

"Hehehe, Oppa, you do that, and I won't be polite to you," Feng Huang joked.

"..."

With your current state, where would you find the energy to fuss over this? Xu Fan chuckled to himself upon seeing Feng Huang's coldly smiling face.

Besides, wasn't he taking care of her after all?

But speaking of which, Feng Huang's figure was indeed exceptionally attractive.

Xu Fan sneaked a peek at Feng Huang on the bed, thinking to himself.

Thump thump thump!

"Hang on a sec."

Just as Feng Huang had finally woken up and Xu Fan was about to inquire about her creditor, there came a knock on the door.

After greeting Feng Huang, Xu Fan rushed toward the door.

"Xiaochun...Xiaochun, how come you're here?"

Standing at the door was actually Xia Xiaochun.

At this point, he could see that she was carrying a lot of food ingredients, apparently planning to come over for a meal together.

"What? Is there something in the house I shouldn't see? I really had to squeeze out some time to come see you..."

Xia Xiaochun said somewhat reproachfully as she saw Xu Fan blocking the doorway, not letting her in.

"Uh...that's not it..."

He understood that it wasn't easy for Xia Xiaochun to find time to visit him, but there was a woman lying in the house at the moment.

With Feng Huang's reckless character, if Xia Xiaochun were to enter now, it might lead to quite a bit of trouble.

"Xiaochun, it's rare for you to have free time today, why don't we go out..."

"No way! I want to see what's inside!"

As Xu Fan was trying to pull her outside, Xia Xiaochun ducked and charged straight into the house.

It's over...

Just after he had finished teasing Feng Huang, Xia Xiaochun came running over, and who knows what trouble that would cause.

Feeling uneasy, Xu Fan followed Xia Xiaochun into the house.

This woman, she's really too much...

As he followed Xia Xiaochun into the house and saw Feng Huang on the bed, Xu Fan's face immediately darkened...

Her mere presence on the bed was already enough to be inexplicable, and now to add insult to injury, she had actually exposed her fragrant shoulders.

"Darling, who is she?"

"..."

Whether she was still recovering from serious injuries or if Feng Huang was deliberately stretching her waist at this moment, she lazily turned her head toward them from the bed.

"Xiaochun, don't listen to her nonsense, she's my friend, she's just joking with you."

Seeing that Xia Xiaochun was also looking at him with suspicion, Xu Fan explained with a lump in his throat.

Even though he was telling the truth, who the hell would believe him given the situation at hand...

"Hmph."

Ignoring Xu Fan, Xia Xiaochun turned her gaze directly to Feng Huang on the bed.

As if it was in the nature of beautiful women, upon encountering another whose looks were not so different from one's own, there was an inevitable sense of competition.

Her glance swept over Feng Huang, and Xia Xiaochun could hardly find a single aspect where the other was inferior to herself; moreover, when she saw that Feng Huang's chest was far more impressive than hers, her expression became even less pleasant.

"Hello, I'm Xu Fan's girlfriend, my name is Xia Xiaochun!"

With a sullen face, and placing her items down, Xia Xiaochun walked up to Feng Huang on the bed.

As if declaring her sovereignty, she proactively greeted Feng Huang.

"Wow, isn't that a coincidence?"

After giving the stunning girl in front of her a quick once-over, Feng Huang, lying on the bed, couldn't help but laugh.

Her gaze stealthily shifted to Xu Fan behind her, sending a message brimming with triumph, clearly telling him, you deserve it.

"I'm also Xu Fan's girlfriend, my name is Feng Huang."

"Hmm, you have smaller breasts, so in the future you can be the junior, and I'll be the senior, how about that?"

"You!"

That woman was even thicker-skinned than Xu Fan; not only did she blatantly ignore his warning, she even had the audacity to determine seniority based on breast size, leaving Xia Xiaochun's face beet-red with rage!

"I...I'm still developing!"

With her hands over her chest, Xia Xiaochun glared at Feng Huang on the bed and rushed to explain.

"You're the junior one!"

"..."

Awkwardly standing to the side, Xu Fan did not dare make a sound.

You all claim to be my girlfriend, and you're arguing over who's the senior and who's the junior, but doesn't anyone want to ask if I agree?
